Getting to know Vanessa Torres
Do you feel overwhelmed with life, with yourself, and can't seem to organize your thoughts or worries?
I am a strength-based clinician specializing in working with women who struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. I love helping women feel centered and present in their lives while identifying ways to care for themselves in mind, body, and spirit.
As a practitioner, I believe we are all encouraged to pursue things based on our thoughts. Challenging negative thoughts and understanding them is a critical part of your journey. Believing every thought that enters your mind can be debilitating, so I work to identify which thoughts are causing strife in your life. Together, you can explore your conscious thoughts with my guidance in a safe, non-judgmental space. Much of my work involves mindfulness-learning how to stay in the present and allowing clients to work through issues impacting their lives.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, especially families as a whole. My goal is to create hope and coach you through existing challenges. I also work individually with adults seeking to increase self-esteem, which may stem from poor body image or past trauma. The connection between mind and body is crucial; exploring how we care for ourselves directly affects how our body and mind feel. I will help you expand your mind and work at its best potential by finding solutions so you can feel more grounded in life, both on your own and with your family.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our sessions I hope you will feel enlightened, aware and relieved. My hope is that you will allow me to carry the heavy emotions so that you could process and unravel any negative thoughts/experience that may be clouding your current state of mind.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
